Great video and love the idea of cutting different size layers from cardstock to use to help design cards. Love the quick & easy box for gifting a set of cards, too. I usually make side-fold cards because they seem to stand up better when displayed vertically.

I prefer side fold. And love formulas, templates and measurements! That's my crafting language.

This card box is the perfect A2 size. I find that file folders are a good, sturdy weight for these little boxes. File folders come in beautiful solids and prints, some even double-sided. Even plain Manila folders can be jazzed up with stamps, stickers, ephemera and rub-ons. Fun project. Also, I like to have several box tops and bottoms cut, scored and tab-released, stored flat that can be put together in a jiffy. Thanks for working out the math, Jenny❣

What are the measurements on the color sheets to use as nesting to see how the card will look

@anniewoodard1595 6 months ago

So far I have only did side fold/portrait.

@CraftyCoco73 6 months ago

I think my go to is side fold just because is the "norm" however I have been more recently using top fold in some cases.

I am interested in your book of templates. How do I purchase them. I watch you on UTube

How many cards does the box hold? Thanks

Hi, would love to buy your book but isn't A2 European size? Unfortunately, what I have is North American sizes, I don't think it would apply to my paper or scoring board.
